Side bangs and band tees. These are a few things you know all too well if you were a middle schooler growing up in the late 00s. In the car, you forced your mom to play Punk Goes Pop on repeat until you had every word memorized. It was almost as if Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low was in your brain listening to your thoughts as he wrote every beautiful song on "Nothing Personal." If you were like me, you were full of angst and just needed someone to describe what you were feeling. Luckily, we had Punk Rock to come to our rescue.

1. "Welcome to the Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance

"Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers.
The plans that they have made?"

2. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" - Panic! At The Disco

"It's much better to face these kinds of things, with a sense of poise and rationality."

3. "The Reason" - Hoobastank

"I've found a reason for me. To change who I used to be. A reason to start over new. And the reason is you."

4. "Jumper" - Third Eye Blind

"The angry boy, a bit too insane. Icing over a secret pain. You know you don't belong."

5. "Welcome to My Life" - Simple Plan

"Do you ever want to run away? Do you lock yourself in your room? With the radio on turned up so loud. That no one hears you screaming."

6. "The Anthem" - Good Charlotte

"I don't ever wanna be you. Don't wanna be just like you.
What I'm sayin' is, this is the anthem. Throw all your hands up. You, don't wanna be you."

7. "Miserable At Best" - Mayday Parade

"Because these words were never easier for me to say, or her to second guess. But I guess that I can live without you but, without you I'll be miserable at best."

8. "It Ends Tonight" - All-American Rejects

"The walls start breathing, my mind's unweaving. Maybe it's best you leave me alone. A weight is lifted. On this evening, I give the final blow."

9. "Iris" - Goo Goo Dolls

"You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be. And I don't wanna go home right now."

10. "Sugar We're Going Down" - Fall Out Boy

"I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song."

11. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana

"With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us."

12. "I'm Just A Kid" - Simple Plan

"Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me tonight."

13. "Curse of Curves" - Cute Is What We Aim For

"I want someone provocative and talkative. But it's so hard when you're shallow as a shower and from what I've heard with skin you'll win."

14. "I Miss You" - Blink-182

"Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head."

15. "Dear Maria, Count Me In" - All Time Low

"There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen."

My eyes are watering with a bit of nostalgia after writing this. Thank God I don't have black eyeliner caked on under my eyes because I'd be screwed.
